Top of Seerücken 720 m.ü.M. - ein Gipfelerlebnis und auf den Spuren zwischen Apfel und Napoleon mit viel Panorama und Geschichte

Today I dedicate myself to the great autumn colors and start with a quote: "Colors are nature's smile" (William Hunt)



How do achromats feel? One in about 100,000 people suffers from color blindness, not to think about it, not knowing how beautiful and colorful our nature is.



Today I show you the splendor… read more

In fact, after a few rainy days, the sun god (take your pick, there are many depending on the mythology) soothes with warm temperatures and sun.



What does "after rain follows sunshine" mean?



Anyone who cannot actively change anything about their misfortune feels at their mercy and needs the attitude that… read more

The original hiking route was slightly adapted to the weather situation today. After a few rays of hope that the weather would remain stable, continuous rain began. That's where the dilemma begins, which hopefully doesn't lead to procrastination. 😊



Of course, everyone knows how quickly this can happen… read more

Varied circular hike in adventurous weather with lots of rain and strong gusts of wind.



Start and finish is Ermatingen am Untersee. The path first leads along the lake and then hikes up the steep forest paths up the ridge of the lake. You will be rewarded with a great panorama. Again on winding forest… read more

Absolute MTB panoramic tour on the Seerücken with lots of forest paths and some trails to the great vantage points. I took the last 3 shots with my drone earlier, the sunset is now at 7:22 p.m. in Ermatingen and every day it is 2 minutes less.



Next we go on a historical tour and depending on the weather… read more

The countdown to this year's multi-day tour begins and first a brief description of today's tour. Also at the start, the new Samsung A53 5G, equipped with fantastic cameras including one for macro shots. Get a picture of it yourself 😊 I will put the Samsung A53 through its paces on the next tours.

True to the motto: "When I see the lake, I don't need the sea anymore" and when I look at today's blaze of colors, then today was a real Caribbean feeling and the fascinating sunset. More is not possible at this point.



What you notice of course is the low water level at the moment. Normally the lake has… read more

Panoramic circular hike through beautiful forests, a ravine and on beautiful hiking trails at 🥵 temperatures.



Wolfsberg Castle is impressively located on a terrace on the northern slope of the Seerücken, which stretches between the lower lake of Lake Constance and the Thur Valley. Under the Bonapartists… read more

Fantastic hike with an absolute highlight, wild chamois on Lake Constance.



Almost 3 years ago I received the information that there are chamois in the Rüütlitobel. Well, that was on April 1st, so I dismissed it as an April Fool's joke.



In a newspaper report from 2014 I read the following: "A herd of chamois… read more

Beautiful, short, trail-like round tour according to the motto: "There is no W-Lan in the forest, but a much better connection" :-)



The silent contemporary witness "Grandmother Tanne" at the Haidenhaus



At almost 48 meters, approx. 300 years and over 4 meters in circumference, it is the oldest fir tree… read more

Another varied round tour, this time with the focus on the Ice Age ravine in Langrickenbach.



Certainly great as a hike coming from Bottighofen with a distance of about 15km. The ravine is too short for biking, because the ravine path then descends via steps and you can't get any further by bike.



Something… read more

Varied MTB tour with some impressions in hot temperatures. Fortunately, the forest and the trails make up for it all.



A short saying:



Why is there a beer in the forest?



Because firs (cones) 🤣



Have a nice day everyone and Happy Ride On 🤟🤟🤟

The saying goes: "After the rain comes the sunshine" but today it poured with thunderstorms, lightning and thunder.



I had to modify the originally planned tour a bit and therefore shorten it.



Starting at the Mammern train station and via Höhenweg, it goes up to the Neuburg ruins, which were built in the… read more

True to the motto: "Take a deep look at nature and you will understand everything better" Today's circular hike starts in Ermatingen.



First it goes up the Wolfsberg, along some power trees, but what are power trees?



Trees have been a symbol of creative power, inspiration and wisdom since time immemorial… read more

Today's tour runs a bit into the hinterland, towards Märstetten (TG) and 3 castle ruins.



Cool round tour, varied and historically interesting. Anyone who would like to add the "lascivious" Napoleon Tower is welcome to do so.



Castell ruins (Tägerwilen)



The 12th-century ruins of Castell are east of Castell… read more

After yesterday's guided MTB tour, today we deliberately went to the elements of forest and water (WW) if I had a wine with me then we would already be on the world wide web (WWW) 😝 and then I'd like to quote: In the forest there is no W- LAN but a much better connection.



Immerse yourself in nature was… read more

Today an abbreviated tour with a lot of rain and abnormal wind. Komoot recording probably took the shortcut too precisely and therefore I can walk on water. No, the water level is not that low in the fairway, so I chose the route through the beautiful old town.



When I last visited the Wagenhausen Propsteikirche… read more

Today's circular hike starts from the train station in Stein am Rhein and it's raining all the time, but according to the motto: Some feel the rain, others just get wet 😊 and go to the Rheinbrücke Stein am Rhein and follow the signs towards Wagenhausen and the first one destination, the old provost… read more

Panoramic hike along the Steckborner Panoramaweg with a detour in the direction of Berlingen to a very beautiful vantage point and on to the white rocks.



The white rocks are a sandstone formation and in Roman times around 370 AD. A watchtower is said to have been built here. Yes, the Romans were always… read more

Why do you actually say Mostindien?



On today's MTB (Mostindientour) you ride after the apple with perfect panoramic views, so to speak.



Since 1853, Thurgau has also been called "Mostindien" based on a caricature by Heinrich Jenny, because of the apple cultivation and its shape, which is reminiscent of… read more
